Not a great pic, but this is my Washington State black bear. I took her the first week of August this year (2010) on a reservation hunt. My first hunt over bait for bears- and it was fantastic. In 4 days I saw more bears than I have in the past 10 years. Next time I am bringing a zoom lensed cam corder that I can put on a tripod 30 yards out and just let it film the bait. I had a sow with 2 beagle sized cubs come in on the last day and stay for 2 hours. The cubs fought, and wrestled and scuffled and just had a blast until they were scared away by the bear I took. My bear turned out to be a sow too, but no cubs. I gave her (didn't know it was a her before I recovered her) some time munching to be sure, and it being 6 pm on my last hunt day I took her for the meat.
